Disabled Refuge EVCS
Our BS 5839-9 compliant disabled refuge systems provide crystal-clear voice communication in emergencies. Featuring vandal-resistant outstations, adjustable audio levels up to 80dB, and battery-backed power supplies, these systems ensure accessibility for all users. Integrated self-diagnostics and third-party interfaces maintain reliability during mains failure, making them ideal for public buildings and healthcare facilities.
Door Entry Systems
We design door entry solutions from basic single-door units to advanced digital systems with video intercoms and key fob access. Our custom panels integrate with nurse call and warden call systems, offering vandal-resistant construction and easy installation. Installation and maintenance services cover East Anglia with tailored options for residential and commercial properties.
Custodial Cell Call
Our HMPS-approved cell call systems include 4080-cell capacity units with panic buttons and audiovisual recording. Custom panels integrate with CCTV and door locking systems, providing scalable solutions for police custody suites and prisons. Features include IButton authorisation and event logging for enhanced security and compliance.
Networked Alarms
The NIOSPro system offers fourth-generation networked alarm monitoring with IP intercom integration. Supporting up to 20 zones per panel, it features remote diagnostics and compatibility with building management systems. This scalable solution suits multi-site operations requiring centralised control and real-time alerts.
Fire Telephones
BS 5839-9 compliant fire telephone systems enable critical communication during emergencies. Our loop-through cabling reduces installation costs while standby batteries ensure operation during power outages. Designed for easy configuration, these systems integrate with fire alarm networks in commercial and industrial buildings.
